States by almost 50 per cent in the 19805 But opposition parties are furious with the decision announced Thursday by Energy Minister Ray Hnatyshyn to allow $15 billion worth of new exports as recommended by the National Energy Board in report delivered to the minister late last month Hnatyshyn announced the governments approval for additional exports of 375 trillion cubic feet of gas through 1987 valued at $132 billion US Liberal and New Democratic spokesmen immediately blasted the decision as sellout of strategic resources at time of threatened energy shortages in Canada The
